This is a thrust bearing. The thrust bearing is positioned between the lawn mower's spindle and front axle and serves to reduce friction during use. This part makes shifting between different speeds much easier. A worn-out thrust bearing will have more room between the rollers on the outside of the bearing. This movement will cause the bearing to move more than usual. When the bearing goes bad, the driver may notice rattling, squeaking, or other noises coming from the machine. These noises can be more prevalent when the clutch pedal is engaged. To replace the thrust bearing, first, the clutch must be removed from the lawn mower. On the bottom of the driveshaft, there is a bolt and washer that need to be removed. Wedge and move the clutch, allowing it to work its way down the driveshaft, then remove it. There is a bearing retainer clip and three bolts that will enable the thrust bearing to be removed. Repeat the steps in reverse after installing the new component.This product is a genuine OEM MTD part sourced directly from the manufacturer. The part is sold individually and not available with any other components. This product is compatible with MTD and Cub Cadet products.
